Signed by the President of the Senate
Summary
The law creates minimum jail or community‑service terms for repeat OWI offenders, gives them good‑time credit, and broadens the definition of a vehicle to include watercraft while repealing a separate motor‑boat intoxication crime. It also raises penalties for battery against health‑care, school and certain child‑services workers, updates child‑abuse definitions, and adds new confidentiality rules for public records. These changes aim to strengthen public safety, protect vulnerable workers and victims, and modernize Indiana’s criminal statutes.
